Vibe: Buzzing atmosphere without the buzz
The ambiance has been described as strange and sparse, lacking that elusive charm. On weekends, the crowd can turn a romantic date into a game of dodgeball, stealing any sense of intimacy and comfort.
Great Drinks
Great drinks, extensive sake selection, and happy hour specials.
Okay Buzz
Busy at times, not terribly busy nor completely empty, balanced crowd.
Perks: Convenient dining with mixed service
Reservations are a breeze, and parking is accessible, though it can get crowded. Families with kids find it welcoming, but the service has drawn criticism for being slower than expected, even in quieter moments.
Great Speed
Okay Parking
Strip mall location offers both easy and sometimes busy parking
